Please refrain from abusing the main forum with your chat questions.

Probably not.

If so, every TV station, network, radio talkshow and website that has advertising would have been sued.

****************************************
As said above, not yet. But before FaceBook has liability protection removed, LET’S REMOVE THE PROTECTION FROM GOOGLE FIRST! Google is the CENTER OF EVIL!

It’s buyer beware. It’s up to you to research the company and see if they are legitimate.

Depends on what happened and what your state calls criminal or liable.

One thing for sure - the feds have NO constitutional say-so regarding activities of free individuals and free enterprise.

Don’t know about that but if they put half as much energy in dealing with these scams as they do throwing people in “FB jail” for the unspeakable crimes of expressing theirnopinions, they can really be a positive force for good.

You get great deals! You can buy a Rolex or Patek Philippe watch for around $100 from some of these advertisers. Also products guaranteed to clean your house from COVID instantly! And air conditioners that can sit on your desk and air condition your whole house instantly just by pouring water in them.

First I think they’re a private company.

I do think that they should be treated like a company such as the phone companies.

I almost hate to say this, but I think they need to be regulated.
